Ghana international Thomas Partey has apologized for “unintentionally” damaging the glasses of a football fan during Atletico Madrid’s thrilling 1-1 draw against Valencia on Monday evening.

Partey was introduced in the 81st minute of the second half to provide muscle to the midfield of the Rojiblancos.

At the end of the match, the Ghanaian hit a ball and it flew into the stands, smacking one fan in the face, breaking his glasses and leaving him with a few scratches.

The Valencia fan who suffered the unfortunate hit took took to his Twitter page  to recount the incident to which an apologetic Partey warmly replied.

“It seems that the person affected was me,” Jose Carmelo Llopis wrote. “The ambulance and medical staff at the Mestalla were wonderful in helping me out. Of course, the glasses were broken and I have a few scratches on my eyelids.”

Once he saw this tweet, Thomas Partey replied and apologised about the incident.

“I just found out that last night I hit you with a ball at Mestalla,” the player wrote. “I hope you are okay. I’m really sorry about the glasses, it wasn’t intentional.”
